The cat in the picture was my cat Spooky (he's since passed away.) I wanted to make something in his honor, and I didn't want to make a sad, depressing image. I wanted something to make me laugh, so when I came across this picture of him, I knew right away what I was going to do with it!I fiddled with adding red boxing gloves to the picture, but I decided on the "bare-paw" look. Let me know what you think!

I modified this pattern from the tutorial that nina posted. It's similar because this is my first attempt at a felt animal. I figured I better start small and then work my way into a more difficult modification.
